Charlie Johnson, who has been living with HIV for fourteen years, describes the connection between depression and HIV in his life, including: how HIV's effect on the brain contributes to feelings of depression; different ways he has managed his depression; why he tried but stopped using antidepressant medications; and how helping other people has proven to be the most effective way for him to treat his own depression. Charlie is a co-founder of Global Lifeworks. Visit http://www.AIDSvideos.org/ for more information about Charlie Johnson's educational outreach and harm reduction work.
